Education. Creativity. A culture that raises the standard.
The best chapter of your career starts here.
The energy is electric, the creativity is flowing, the clients are glowing and everyone in the room is exactly where they want to be.
At Obsidian Salon, we believe great stylists are always evolving.
Our culture is values-driven and merit-based. We believe in humility, professionalism, and supporting one another while continually raising the standard of our work.
Stylists who thrive here are curious, motivated, and passionate about their craft. They take pride in their clients, stay open to learning, and enjoy being surrounded by other professionals who care deeply about what they do.
Around here, inspiration is everything.
Here, your career and your life grow together. We wouldn't have it any other way.
As the salon grows, so do the opportunities available to our team.
Depending on your goals and interests, opportunities may include:
• In-house education
• Creative photoshoots
• Collection work
• Fashion and industry events
• Advanced skill development
We believe a career in hair can evolve in many directions, and we aim to create an environment where stylists can explore their full potential.
We want you to earn well, live well and build something that lasts.
Our compensation model is performance-based and designed to grow with your career. We offer a five-level commission structure that rewards skill, clientele, and professional development at every stage.
Great education doesn't just make you a better stylist. It unlocks your creative power, elevates your clients and makes you fall in love with your craft all over again.
The education you receive at Obsidian comes from someone actively working at the highest levels of the hair industry.
Obsidian is led by multi award-winning stylist Simon James, who regularly travels across North America presenting on stage, teaching at advanced academies in New York and Toronto, and coaching salons across the country.
The insights, inspiration, and education gained from these experiences are continually brought back to the salon to support the growth of the team.
This creates an environment where stylists stay inspired and connected to the wider industry.
At Obsidian, culture isn't what we say we believe. It's what we choose to live every day.
We show up prepared, support one another without ego, and hold ourselves accountable to a standard we're genuinely proud of. Humility, professionalism, and a commitment to growth aren't just words here. They're the baseline.
This is a space where your voice matters, your growth is supported, and the energy in the room reflects the work we put in together. We celebrate wins, we learn from challenges, and we support each other to grow as stylists and as people
At the end of the day, Obsidian feels like home. Familiar, supportive and somewhere you find yourself wanting to be even when you're not there..
This is for the stylist who still gets excited about great hair.
The one who shows up early, stays curious, and genuinely cares about the person sitting in their chair. Who wants to be part of something being built with intention and isn't afraid of the work it takes to get there.
You have 5 or more years of experience, a portfolio you're proud of, and the humility to know your best work is still ahead of you.
Honest. Humble. Driven.
If that's you, we want to hear from you.
